Abstract "In Flux" was an exploration of how energy affects and harmonizes with matter. These works were influenced by the unification of many elements into a whole, as seen in the flow of nature, dance, religion, and society as a whole. The initial materials I used were chosen based on their plasticity to quickly illustrate how tension and gravity shaped them. They were then rendered rigid with fiberglass and pigmented resin to freeze and emphasize my discoveries. Finally, the works were arranged in the gallery to create a sense of the underlying concept of unifying multiple elements into a balanced and harmonious composition.
